Clearly he could help us in some areas that we struggled with (see Brandon Coleman) the most. A bruising, physical, strong & thick WR is something the Saints don't have at the WR roster (maybe our draft pick turns into that guy). Boldin simply answered the punch when teamed up with Flacco and Gabbert ... imagine him with Brees. We need a saavy vet WR in New Orleans. Colston was GREAT, I mean truly GREAT but it's over. |

Re: Saints Favorites to Sign Anquan Boldin
Colston is done..if I remember correctly he failed a physical. Dude's knees are shot. Colston doesn't even look like he has plans to get back into the NFL. His career is over

They are going to need to bring a veteran in at some point. Too many young guys to not have someone to look to. These guys are just getting used to NFL stardom, not to mention their role on the field. |

There is nothing wrong with the WRs the Saints already have on the roster. If they need someone to look to let them go to Morton, that's what he's there for.
